Fnatic and FURIA have won the previous two editions of the tournament. FURIA won last year’s event after a 3-1 victory over Apeks in the Grand Finals. The team took revenge for a 0-2 defeat in the group stage that saw them fall to the second seed coming into the playoffs. The victory gave FURIA esports $100,000 which is what we expect this year’s winner to take home as well.
